It has been estimated that the US congress could triple the size of the military by simply raising the troop limit and lowering the currently high standards. Doing even that would be extremely expensive and unnecessary. The possiblity of a draft in the near future is approximately 0%. Also the president can't start a draft. That's up to congress and we've seen what congress thinks of a draft a few weeks or so ago. Kerry's not an idiot. He knows all this. He lied to win an election and it didn't work.
